Essentially, this is a kind of 100% stacked bar graph. The thickness of the coloured bars is proportional to the amount of orders that month of that particular colour bouquet (as there will be more bars generated with that colour).

When plotted out over time, you see particular patterns forming. For example:

What are all those light greens and dark greens? Some bouquets feature a heavy amount of greenery and foliage, with actual petals being relatively sparse. In these cases, the ColorThief module returned the dominant colour as "green". (There's probably a more machine-learning-y way to do this, for example, by dynamically cropping each photo to the petals of the flower - and if you know how to do this, PM me.)

What about bouquets with more than one colour of flower? The ColorTheif dominant colour algorithm will select which ever colour is most dominant. In the case where there is an exactly equal 50/50 amount of, say, purple and yellow flowers in a bouquet, the algorithm will essentially flip a coin to work out which colour (yellow or purple) was deemed most dominant.
